Either the best or the worst, there are a couple of ways of looking at it. Kurt vs. Shane, the wrestler against the stuntman, in a match that shows just how dangeresque the entire wrestling thing can be. Blood, battery, and being dropped on your head in WWE 2002.

	Special - GHC Title Match Cage vs. Nakajima	22 Aug 2017	00:05:57
